As for what comes next , he said he ’ s been in the studio cooking new music . He has 7 new tracks that are mostly English , but he is planning to do both English and Turkish . He is looking for collaborations currently and he wants to make the next project as a collaborative art piece . He said his new project has a different feel than his previous electric music and it ’ s more melodic .
In terms of dream collaborations , he had several thoughts . He would love to work with Pharrell . From England , he named Mark Ronson . As a vocalist , he has Anne Marie in mind , and the late Amy Winehouse .
As for Turkish artists , he said that he had already worked with almost everyone he wants to work with . He likes the music scene in the UK and British indie rock is his favourite . He previously covered the band the Subways .

He said that he ’ s really stoked for his next concert at the Camden Assembly , given that it has been a year and a half since he performed live . He doesn ’ t want to release a full-length album from now on as the audience doesn ’ t listen to the complete body of work as they did before , and the attention span is short . He said he will release a single before the concert and will be performing a couple of songs from the new project . He plans to release a new single each month then put them in one album .
Asked for a taste of the new work , he put on his poker face . He would only say that it is amazing and he can ’ t share anything because he changes everything in the last week leading to the release .
His writing process is “ hell ”, he says . He gets this “ sparkle ”, as he called it , in the last minute before the release and that changes the production of the work completely .

He also demands “ bald rights ” as most bald actors play the bad guys in films and are never cast as the lead in romantic films . That was his way of changing the topic when I asked him if he will release slow romantic music .
He said bald , 6 ’ 4 tall guys aren ’ t the type of artists who make romantic songs and that he would rather make dance bangers that you dance to when you are crying . “ It is raining , you open your hands and you cry , but you also dancing .” That ’ s romanticism in Bedük ’ s eyes .
In terms of Aleyna Talki and Edis signing record deals to release English music . He said it is a great effort for them as artists and for the Turkish music industry but they need to not get discouraged and give excuses . The success will be achievable in the end if they remain consistent .
Lastly , when asked to introduce himself to UK music enthusiasts , Bedük said that he is a 360-degree creative who makes music . He produces , writes and creates – uniquely .
